Mom, Ten years have passed since you’ve been gone.

Mom, but your memory lives on, The love you gave and the life you led inspire me in every step I take.

You had a quiet demeanor about you.
You didn’t say much, but you did much for your extended family and others

The memories we shared and the times we traveled remain in my mind

Looking back now, those were “buying trips,” buying 18-carat gold jewelry for resale.

Guess what? I now own an African fashion accessories business, including earrings!

Through the years, the times of joy and pain are all a part of who I am, And I’ll always hold them close.

I think of you regularly and hold you close to my heart.

I’ll treasure every precious moment, keep you alive in every part and carry your DNA of entrepreneurship.

So, here’s to you, dear mom; though you’ve been gone for ten long years, my memories of you will always be special.
